RECIPE : Parsnip soup

I kinda stole this recipe from my Dad, well its an adapted version of a recipe he passed onto me after making it one time we went for dinner. Its very much a winter soup, very warming and with a generous chunk of crusty bread, comforting too :)

I've also made a few tweaks to make it even easier.....well what can I say I'm all for the easiness, that way there is no excuse for not eating fresh, healthy food.

You will need:

25 gms of butter

1 onion finely chopped

1 large parsnip finely chopped

1 large carrot finely chopped

1 medium potato finely chopped

1 clove of garlic crushed

1 teaspoon curry paste

1 ltr of vegetable stock

1/2 cup of milk (of your choice)

Method:

Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 8-10mins

Add the parsnip, carrot and potato and stir

Once combined add the curry paste and mix through thoroughly

Add the stock and stir together

Add in the milk and stir again, cook for 20mins

Blitz in a processor (I used my nutribullet but you do have to wait for it to cool for about 30mins before doing so)

Add salt/pepper to taste and eat!!!!

Enjoy :)

p.s. If you dont have curry paste, which I didn't. Just add 2 teaspoons of the stock to 1 teaspoon of curry powder :)
